Florida sheriff under investigation for loan

Broward County Sheriff Ken Jenne is under investigation for his failure to disclose a $20,000 loan from a developer with business before his office:

Developer Philip Procacci and one of Jenne's secretaries, Marian Yoka, told federal prosecutors and state investigators that Procacci gave her a loan of $20,000 with the understanding that she would give the money to Jenne to pay his 2003 income taxes, said the sources, who agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity.  As part of the investigation of Jenne's business dealings and finances, investigators are questioning why he appears to have concealed the source of the money and why he did not declare it on his state ethics disclosure forms. They are also trying to determine if the developer or Jenne got any other benefit as a result of the loan.
